“We’re very happy to be developing this movie with Tom,” Moore told Variety. “There’s no question that Ethan Hunt deserves another film.”

The veteran executive was basking in the glow of a $121 million global opening for “Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation” — $56 million in the U.S. and another $65 million from 40% of international markets. “The international brand is as strong as ever,” he added.

It was the first public comment by Paramount execs — who tend to take a measured approach in discussing future films. Even as “Rogue Nation” opened on Friday, the studio was insisting that its tracking showed a $40 million U.S. opening, even though the final figure turned out to be 40% higher.

Derek Waters co-created and produces Comedy Central's "Drunk History," which features historical reenactments narrated by inebriated storytellers, but he wasn't anticipating the Emmy nomination the show received for Best Variety Sketch Series. As he explains in our exclusive video chat, "It's obviously an honor, and I still think I might have a disease and this is just people trying to make me feel better … I still don't believe it's real."

The Variety Sketch category is new to the Emmys. Previously, sketch shows competed against talk shows in one race, where talk shows like "The Late Show," "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report" have dominated for almost two decades. "I think it's really cool that this new category exists," says Waters,

"He's down there and he's toughing it out. He's a super human being. He's literally lying there making jokes," said Abrams, who was trying to help free Ford from underneath a hydraulic door at the time.

"This door had gone down, and I'm trying to help lift it up – because that's the kind of guy I am. I'm trying to lift up this door and I feel this pop in my back. I'm like, 'Uh, that's weird'."

Abrams found out that the pop meant he'd broken a bone in his back when he went to see a doctor a couple of days later.

Abrams was trying to help star Harrison Ford after a prop on set malfunctioned and pinned the actor's ankle "90 degrees." Unfortunately, the "Lost" creator found himself more hurt than his leading man.

Harrison Ford is a real life superhero. When a prop malfunctioned on the set of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, slamming one of the real metal doors of the Millennium Falcon crushing down on him, it broke Ford's ankle. But he went back to filming just a few months later. A few months after that, he crash landed an airplane onto a golf course, breaking his ankle yet again as well as his pelvis. A few months after that, he was hitting the stage at Comic-Con like nothing ever happened.
Jj Abrams? Not quite as much of a superhero, as he tells it himself.
The director revealed last night on The Daily Show that when the Millennium Falcon incident happened, he rushed over to try and lift the door off of Ford's leg. Not only was he unable to do it, but the attempt broke his...

WWE Champion Seth Rollins made a surprise appearance on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart for a comedy bit to continue their rivalry that started earlier this year. Stewart is leaving The Daily Show next Thursday, so it was a big deal to put Rollins on his fifth last show.

During the appearance, Rollins walked onto the set with the WWE Title on his shoulder yelling “Hey Stewart I’m back!” Stewart’s familiar with WWE because his son is a big fan and it’s why he got involved with WWE in the past with Rollins appearing on The Daily Show to taunt and then Stewart was on Raw on March 2.

Rollins fired off some lines while Stewart jokingly shilled some Rollins merchandise, which led to Rollins acting shocked to find out that there were Seth Rollins sandals.

Jon Stewart will likely go out laughing. The soon-to-be-former Daily Show host announced last night at the end of his show that his final guests next week will be Amy Schumer, Denis Leary and Louis C.K.
After 16 years as host, Stewart’s final Daily Show will air on Thursday, August 6. He didn’t mention who the final guest or guests will be for the finale.
"We're going to have a ball," Stewart said. "And I can't wait to show my appreciation at all the support and…

Remember when Harrison Ford broke his leg on the set of Star Wars The Force Awakens, after a door on the Millennium Falcon fell on his leg? Well, it now turns out that Ford wasn't the only casualty. Director and co-writer Jj Abrams managed to break his back in the process too.
Speaking on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Abrams recounted the tale of what went down with Ford and when he saw what happened, he ran to assist that scruffy looking nerf herder, and managed to break his back in the process. Subsequently the director had to wear a back brace on set and told nobody as to not raise concern.
Crazy stuff altogether! But thanks Jj, we always knew you'd break your back for us :)

While everyone on the planet heard about Harrison Ford breaking his leg on the set of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, no one reported on the other injury that happened as a result of the widely reported accident. According to director J.J. Abrams, he literally broke his back trying to help out his leading man. Don't worry, it wasn't as serious as it sounds. And the director was able to continue working through the pain.

Stewart made the announcement on Thursday night’s episode of the Comedy Central show.

“Remember, next week is our last week,” Stewart said at the end of the episode. “I can’t wait to show my appreciation at all the support and enthusiasm that you guys have given this show all these years, so thank you all so much. Next week, tune in, it’s going to be a ball.”

Stewart announced in February that he would be departing “The Daily Show” after 17 years as host. He will be replaced by comedian Trevor Noah, who recently spoke about the pressure he feels in taking over the institution.

“The biggest pressure for me is living up to the expectations that Jon has of me,” Noah said. “Jon believes in me … There

Harrison Ford wasn't the only one who suffered an injury on the set of Star Wars: Episode VII—The Force Awakens.
Speaking on The Daily Show With Jon Stewart on Thursday, director J.J. Abrams, 49, revealed he had broken his back while trying to lift a door that had fallen and injured the actor. Last year, Ford, 72, had broken his leg on the set in an incident involving the Millennium Falcon, his character Han Solo's spacecraft, which delayed production on the movie.

Despite a rather accident-prone year, the 73 year-old Harrison Ford is chugging along nicely, stoking plenty of fan excitement with his surreal reprisal of Han Solo in the upcoming Star Wars: Episode VII: The Force Awakens. Unfortunately for director J.J. Abrams, who tried to help Ford after his on-set leg injury last year, he got a firsthand lesson about the ironic dangers of grace-deprived good intentions when he suffered an injury of his own.
Appearing last night on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Abrams was detracted from his intended capacity as a producer on Mission: Impossible . Rogue Nation to promote said movie, when the Star Wars fanboy in Stewart shifted topic. While remaining mum on any substantive details, the conversation lead Abrams into a rather interesting anecdote about Ford.s real-life innate baddassery. According to Abrams:

On Nov. 4, 2008, the night Barack Obama was elected president, I was sitting with the audience of The Daily Show With Jon Stewart in its studio on the west side of Manhattan. No one would have been gobsmacked by the rooting interests that night of both the guests or the host. Stewart has never hidden his point of view; and on this night he looked, to put it simply, pumped.
The show was a live election-night

Amy Schumer, Denis Leary and Louis Ck will be the final three guests during Jon Stewart’s tenure at the Daily Show, with the three comedians rounding off the long list of guests the satirist has had on his show in its 16-year run.

As Jon Stewart prepares to sign off The Daily Show for good next week, he revealed the names of the guests who'll join him on his final episodes: Amy Schumer, Louis C.K., and Denis Leary are all set to send Jon off before his August 6 finale. Recently, Stewart called both Leary and Louis two of his favorite guests because "I get to not work [and] fuck around with them for five minutes," since they're his friends. (Stewart recently performed stand-up for the first time in years following a set from Louis.) Leary himself tweeted earlier this month that he'd be a guest on The Daily Show on August 4 for "the final 'Go Fuck Yourself' with a 40 person choir." Details of Stewart's final show are, of course, a mystery — but we do know it'll air for an hour after a marathon of memorable of Tds episodes.
